Just to reassure you guys - I am taking this topic very seriously over this side of the pond - I am 26 and one of the youngest modellers I know - my girlfriend is nearing 30 and wanting to have kids in a few years (the body clock is ticking....!) I have said thats fine as long as: <br /> <br />1. We produce at least one boy; <br /> <br />2. He is going to be interested in Railways or face adoption! <br /> <br />(Just kidding!) <br /> <br />In all seriousness there are still a steady number of youngsters interested in the hobby - I work on the Bluebell Railway in Sussex at the weekends as a trainee fireman, and we have have a steady influx of 10-16 year olds who love steam - many of which have model railways, but are smothered from buying too much stuff, because of the prices we pay in the UK - I've tried to tell a few of them that with the current $-£ exchange rate its a great time to buy excellent quality US stuff as silly money prices! <br /> <br />Sod computers - what they useful for?.......chatting with people about railways on the otherside of the Atlantic -well they have some uses.....! <br /> <br />Regards, <br /> <br />Stephen.
